Mazel
Identity i1
The
Identity i1 has made concrete a proposal which is not only the answer to the
challenge of a new model realization but also to the creation of a new brand, a
goal which is not easy to reach today.
H2R
Design Consulting have studied the concept of the car, developing the design
completely in Virtual Reality, and MAZEL-GROUP have executed the physical
model. Both companies, located in Barcelona, demonstrate with this project
their high technological capacity in the execution of this kind of projects.
The
chassis, studied in composite material will be developed with ATR, a
prestigious Italian company with a great experience in this field. The
development of the body in white (in RTM and composite material) is on its
execution phase by Studio Linea 2 in Turin (Italy).
The
engine, an aluminum eight cylinder in central position with rear wheel drive
with an robotized six gear Gearbox guarantees high performances and an
excellent road performance.
The
exterior, following the best European tradition, is characterized by generous
dimensions (4,43 m long per 1,92 m wide, is only 1,26 m high) combined with the
remarkable tires size of 19" in the front and 20" in the rear, gives
the car an exclusive and sporty image. Furthermore the strong character of its
designs originates not only a "pure race" sports car but also a
design able to characterize a whole new brand.
The
front part, consisting of three main volumes, have a lower main air intake,
clearly inspirited in aeronautical solutions, which is, beyond all doubt, its
most important part. The remarkable intakes for the front brake refrigeration
makes up a dynamic ensemble with a strong sports character. The upper air
intake, refined and perfectly integrated in the bumpers volume and the head
lights in vertical position, emphasize the important width of the vehicle.
The
side part is characterized by a new treatment of the surfaces, bringing
together new design trends and classic solutions, which permits to obtain a
product really different in relation to the solutions actually on the market.
The doors, which are opening vertically, reinforce its extremely personal
presence. Here, the perfectly integrated external mirror has a new lighting
system developed by FICOSA.
The
rear part, characterized by its separated rear lights and its remarkable lower
engine cover part which is used as an air outlet conductor with a ventury
effect, is easily recognizable from afar. This contribute to reach the purpose
to make a car with an own, strong character.
The
interior, a two seats, has been developed against the traditional solutions
searching a sporty elegance combined with a high sensation of space, using a
new distribution of the internal mechanical components.
All
the control components of the vehicle are situated in the central panel where
the Shift by Wire and the Brake by Wire solutions have permitted a new
distribution of the gear and hand brake in the interior of the vehicle. This
solution gives a new drive sensation. These elements have been developed by
FICOSA, who also cooperated with the realization of the design.
To
resume, it is not only a concept car proposal but also the realization of a
project focused on its future production.
